The Boat Shed was built in 1979 along with major renovations to the nationally recognised sailing club, Belmont 16s. The space was necessary to house the many championship Skiffs that had outgrown previous storage spaces dating back as far as the Club’s establishment in 1922. Transformed into The Boat Shed Bar in 2015, the space is now home to a vibrant crowd of independent craft beer and fine wine enthusiasts. Inside it, you will discover original structures and sailing memorabilia that, pay homage to its past life amongst 16 taps of craft beer and the Burger Bros. craft burger menu.

“It’s the pub on the corner, where you leave your day at the door. The food’s tasty, yet not pricey. The drinks are cold and can be a little fancy. “The Duke” as it’s affectionately known… where you’ll be treated like part of the family”. – Well, that’s what Jacko said. Since 1876, The Duke of Wellington Hotel has been the hub of community spirit in New Lambton. It’s the spot for the tastiest lunch special, to watch the football or have a quick punt. The accommodation is clean and comfy with quirky shops in the village for you to explore.
